2002年考研英语真题及解析
2002二、试题具体解析21. 要使自己的幽默让人发笑，你应当 _ 。
[A] 利用不同类型的听众[B] 取笑杂乱无章的人[C] 对不同的人谈不同的问题[D] 对你的听众表示同情[答案] C[解析]本题考核的知识点是：段落主旨题。
本题考查的是局部信息，考生关键要理解第一段。
该段首句指出，如果你想在谈话中用幽默使人发笑，你就必须知道如何辨别共同的经历和共同的问题。
接着作者又对此进行了解释，即：你的幽默必须与听众相关，显示你是他们中的一员，或你理解他们的处境并赞成他们的观点。
作者在第三句得出结论，即“Depending on whom you are addressing, the problems will be different（针对不同的听众，谈及不同的问题）”。
由此可知，C选项恰好是对该段中心的概括，为正确答案。
A选项虽然在某种程度上谈到了“不同的听众”的重要性，但没有接着阐述听众不同应该怎样做，而且它出现了文中没有的内容：利用听众。
B选项是该段最后举例说明的内容，if you are talking to a group of managers, you may refer to the disorganized methods of their secretaries; alternatively if you are addressing secretaries, you may want to comment on their disorganized bosses。
但这只是用来论证“听众不同问题不同”这个论点的一个具体个案，缺乏普遍性，无法由此而得出取笑他们就总会使幽默起作用的结论，因此不能选。
D选项就是该段第二句谈到的in sympathy with their point of view，但是它仅仅是“对不同的人谈不同的问题”这个中心论点的部分解释，不具备完整性和概括性。
答题技巧：本题要求考生透过字里行间去把握段落主题句。
注意主题句一般是观点而非描写、说明或事实。
段落中除了表观点的主题句外，其他的内容一般起说明或论证作用，并且，主题句大都具有归纳性、概括性、抽象性等特点。
22. 从那个关于医生的笑话里推出护士对医生的看法是他们____。
[A] 对新来的人没有礼貌[B] 非常在乎自己上帝般的角色[C] 享有某些特权[D] 用午餐时都很忙[答案] B[解析]本题考核的知识点是：推理引申题。
本题考查考生概括理解具体例子的能力，考生关键要把握作者通过举例手法所表达的观点。
作者在第二段讲述了一则嘲笑医生的笑话。
笑话中上帝的动作rush to grab 和stomp over都表明了上帝的傲慢和目中无人，而圣彼德的话“但是有时他认为自己是一名医生”表明医生也有同样的特点，即无礼、傲慢、自以为像上帝一样。
由此可知，B选项为正确答案。
A选项不是笑话中暗示的医生的普遍特点，我们无法从笑话中得出医生对所有新来的人都不礼貌。
而C选项和D选项都没有嘲笑他们的意味，因此也不对。
23. It can be inferred from the text that publicservices .[A] have benefited many people[B] are the focus of public attention[C] are an inappropriate subject for humor[D] have often been the laughing stock23. 从文中可以推出，公共服务____。
[A] 给许多人带来利益[B] 是公众注意的焦点[C] 不适合作为幽默的笑料[D] 经常是大家的笑料[答案] D[解析]本题考核的知识点是：推理引申题。
本题要求考生根据第三段的内容去推测最后一句的含义。
文章第三段指出，如果谈话者是听话者中的一分子，就可以用双方共同的经历作为幽默的素材，否则，这样做就不合适。
最后指出，这时如果拿公共服务行业作为替罪羊（scapegoats）去评论，你就会处于安全境地。
这就说明即使对不同的听众也可以以它们为笑料，也就是说它们是大家经常谈论的笑料。
因此D选项为正确答案。
C 选项恰与原文意思相悖。
A 选项未提到，因为当作笑料并非就是带来利益。
B选项似乎也有道理，但是他的针对性不如D选项。
24. To achieve the desired result, humorous stories should be delivered .[A] in well-worded language[B] as awkwardly as possible[C] in exaggerated statements[D] as casually as possible24.为了达到预期的效果，幽默故事应该以____方式讲述。
[A] 话语措辞得当；[B] 尽可能地不自然；[C] 用夸张的词语；[D] 尽可能自然。
[答案] D[解析]本题考核的知识点是：段落主旨题。
本题要求考生理解第四段的主题思想。
文章第四段指出，如果在讲述幽默时感到有些不自然，就必须加以练习，使之变得更自然。
你可以加入一些随便的、看上去是即兴（off-the-cuff）的话，用轻松的、自然的方式把它说出来。
让听众发笑的通常是讲述幽默的过程，因此应该放慢语速，再加上一些表情，这些都在告诉人们你在讲述笑话。
从该段的一些关键词natural，relaxed，unforced和light-hearted等，都可看出D选项才是讲幽默故事的正确方法。
A选项是文中未出现的内容；B选项与文章内容相悖；C选项是在第五段中谈到搜集幽默素材时应该留意的内容之一，只是列举，同样不具有概括性，因而不能入选25. 这篇文章最好的标题是。
[A] 有效地使用幽默 [B] 各种各样的幽默[C] 在谈话中添加幽默[D] 不同的幽默策[答案] A[解析]本题考核的知识点是：文章主旨题。
本题考的是对全文的理解，是总括题，要求考生综合各段主题找出全文的主旨。
文章第一至三段谈的是选择恰当的幽默话题，以求实现幽默效果；第四段谈论的是自然随意的幽默，可以达到幽默效果；第五段建议人们留意幽默，并指出了幽默可能存在的地方，也就是实现幽默的一些策略方法。
因此可知，A选项是全文都在谈论的论点，为正确的答案。
B选项不符合文章的主要内容，因为文中并未举出幽默有哪些种类。
C选项也不是全文探讨的问题。
D选项只是最后一段间接涉及的一些内容，如：对一句常言进行歪曲，玩弄语言文字或情景，夸大其词或是故意地轻描淡写等以求实现幽默的效果，因此无法概括全篇。
四、核心词汇与超纲词汇(1) identify（v.）认出，识别；鉴定；identification（n.）识别，身份证明，简写成ID。
(2) sympathy（n.）同情，同感；be in～with sb./sth. 同意，赞同。
如：We are all in～with your proposals. sym-前缀表示“相同的”；anti-表示“相反的”，如：antipathy反感。
(3) address（v.）与…说话，向…致辞，演说；从事，忙于(4) alternatively（ad.）作为选择，或者；这个词在写作中常用来引导另外一个平行的观点或意见；alternative（a./n.）二者择一（的），选择性（的）(5) convention（n.）大会，协定，习俗，惯例；conventional（a.）(6) accommodations（n.）住处，住所；座位，车厢；适应；便利的设备，有帮助的事物(7) St. Peter 圣彼德，St.是Saint的缩写，是人们对耶稣基督的尊称。
(8) stomp（n./v.）跺脚，践踏，重踏(9) passing（a.）经过的，短暂的，匆匆的，随便的，偶然的，及格的(10) notorious（a.）声名狼藉的，臭名昭著的；notorious是一个贬义词。
表示“名气很大”的贬义词还有infamous。
褒义词很多，如：famous，well-known，renowned等。
（11）resent（v.）愤恨，怨恨，对…感觉不愉快；resentment（n.）（12）disparaging（a.）蔑视的，轻视的，毁谤的（13）scapegoat（n.）替罪羊。
记住goat，与“羊”有关的词语还有black sheep害群之马。
（14）understatement（n.）一种修辞手法，故意的轻描淡写；under-前缀表示“未达，未满，不足”，如：undertreatment 处理不足或不力，underestimate，underripe不成熟的。
（15）turn about转变，改变意见，转身，反复思考五、全文翻译如果你想在谈话中用幽默来使人发笑，你就必须知道如何识别共同的经历和共同的问题。
你的幽默必须与听众有关，向他们表明你是他们中的一员，或者你了解他们的处境并同情他们的观点。
（长难句①）根据谈话对象的不同，问题也有所不同。
（佳句①）如果你在和一群经理谈话，你就可以评论他们秘书紊乱的工作方法；相反，如果你在和一群秘书谈话，你就可以评论他们毫无章法的老板。
（佳句②）下面举一个例子，它是我在一个护士大会上听到的。
这个故事效果很好，因为听众对医生都有同样的看法。
（长难句②）一个人到了天堂，由圣彼得带着他参观。
他看到了豪华的住宅、美丽的花园、晴朗的天气等等。
所有人都很安静、礼貌和友善，然而当这位新来的人在排队等候午餐时，突然被一位穿白大褂的人推到一旁。
只见这人挤到了队伍的前头，抓起他的食物，噔噔地旁若无人地走到一张餐桌旁。
“这是谁啊?”新来的人问圣彼得,“哦，那是上帝，”他回答说，“但有时也认为自己是一名医生。
”如果你是你谈话对象集体中的一员，你就有条件去了解你们所共有的经历和问题，你就可对餐厅极难吃的食物或者总裁在选择领带方面差劲的品味进行评头论足。
（长难句③）而对于其他听众，你就不能试图贸然地讲这种幽默，因为他们也许不喜欢外人对他们的餐厅或总裁有如此微词。
（长难句④）但如果你选择去评论邮局或电话局这样的替罪羊，那你就会很安全。
如果你在幽默时感到很别扭，你应该进行练习使它变得更自然。
包括一些很随便的、看上去是即兴的话，你可以用轻松的、不做作的方式把它们说出来。
常常是你说话的方式使听众发笑，因此说慢一些，并且记住扬扬眉毛或者做出一种不相信的表情都会向人们显示你正在说笑话。
留意幽默，它常常是在出其不意的时候出现。
它可以是一句常言的歪曲如“你要是一开始不成功，就放弃”，或者是调侃词藻和场景；寻求夸大其词和轻描淡写；考虑一下你的谈话，选出一些词汇和句子，对它们反复琢磨，并注入一些幽默。

Electronic cash registers can do much more than simply ring up sales. They can keep a wide range of records; including who sold what; when; and to whom.The phrase “ring up sales” most probably means;Amake an order of goodsBrecord sales on a cash registerCcall the sales managerD keep track of the goods in stock.根据全局的意思;“电子现金出纳机可以做许多事情;而不仅仅限于ring up sales...接着一句说明现金出纳机用来“记录”东西的一种机器;它们能更记录更广泛的东西;其中包括出售某物;何时出售;出售给谁..可猜出ring up sales.指一般现金出纳机的记录销售额5.标点符号;如分号;破折号;逗号;冒号;引号和括号等;也是猜词重要技巧We live in a society in which the medical and social use of substances drugsis pervasive: an aspirin to quiet a headache; some wine to be sociable; coffee to get going in the morning; a cigarette for the nerve.Pervasive为普遍性;后面举了四种情况;用以说明其普遍性6.生词后的定语从句;或者是上下文中所举的例子也可以解释说明生词意义..引导举例短语for example; for instance; such as; like ; as等The researchers made great progress in the early 1970s; when they discovered that oncogenes; which are cancer-causing genes; are inactive in normal cells.Oncogenes为致癌基因..定语从句解释了该词的含义7.一些副词词组;如however; on the other hand; instead; rather that; unlike; yet ;but等词提供相反的信息;由此确定生词的含义Beauty has always been regarded as something praiseworthy. Almost everyone thinks attractive people are happier and healthier; have better marriages and have more respectable occupations. Personal consultants give them better advice for finding jobs. Even judges are softer on attractive defendants. But in the executive circle; beauty can become a liability.The word “liability” most probably meansA disadvantage B. instability C. misfortune D. burden本段作者先是论述beauty给人类带来的好处;然后用了but;表明最后一句与前面所表述内容相反;因此为“不利之处”;选AB. 情感一致性：抛开表象;体会褒贬e.g.: 2009. T1; 21题修饰论据的adj. accurate; correct; exact; precise; true; authentic; genuine; adequate; sufficient; believable; convincing; plausible; credible; +作者感受的adj. afraid; frightened; scared; fearful; angry; furious; indignant; ashamed; -修饰论据的Adj. absurd; silly; foolish; ridiculous; -v. accuse; blame; charge; denounce; criticize; bother; disturb; … -v. ackn owledge; admit; concede; confess; ….n. benefit; advantage; gainsC. 人物一致性：按图索骥;寻求论点找到人;找到人物观点;下面这些词可提示：n.

考研阅读逐句译2002年第4篇
唐静考研阅读逐句翻译2002年第4篇第1句The Supreme Court’s decisions on physician-assisted suicide carry important implications for how medicine seeks to relieve dying patients of pain and suffering.词汇：supreme //adj. 最高的，至高无上的；最重要的，最大的court //n. 法庭，法院；宫廷，朝廷；球场physician //n. 医生，内科医生implication //n. 含义，暗含relieve //v. 减轻，解除结构：The Supreme Court’s decisions on physician-assisted suicide （主语）//carry important implications （谓语动词和宾语）//for how medicine seeks to relieve dying patients of pain and suffering （for介词后面跟了一个how宾语从句，整个for介词短语充当状语）.译文：最高法院关于医生帮助病人自杀这一问题的裁决，对于医学界寻求如何减轻病危者的痛苦与折磨，具有重要的意义。
翻译思路：翻译思路的展开有人总说，“觉得自己英语看懂了，可就是觉得中文怪怪的，为什么呢？”这里有两个问题：1.觉得自己英语看懂了——要确信是真的看懂了，对英语主干和修饰的关系很清晰。
2.如果“真的看懂了”，“可是中文怪怪的”——问题就出在中文表达的时候，逻辑整理或者顺序安排不够清楚；还有可能是对某一个英语词的中文表达不到位。
怎么办呢？我试图通过这个句子来帮大家展开一下翻译思路。
The Supreme Court’s decisions on physician-assisted suicide决定最高法院的决定最高法院的裁决（法院的决定，就是裁决，这里是一种中文表达方式的替换）最高法院关于医生帮助自杀的裁决最高法院关于医生帮助病人自杀这一问题的裁决（医生帮助自杀，有点怪怪的，逻辑不清，补充说明白）carry important implications具有了重要的意义（注意carry implication for的搭配）for how medicine seeks to relieve dying patients of pain and suffering对于医药如何寻求减轻正在死亡的病人的痛苦和折磨对于医学界寻求如何减轻病危者的痛苦与折磨（医药如何减轻，怪怪的；正在死亡的病人，逻辑不对；通通替换）唐静考研阅读逐句翻译2002年第4篇第2句Although it ruled that there is no constitutional right to physician-assisted suicide, the Court in effect supported the medical principle of “double effect”, a centuries-old moral principle holding that an action having two effects—a good one that is intended and a harmful one that is foreseen—is permissible if the actor intends only the good effect.词汇：rule //v. 统治，管理；控制；裁定constitutional //adj. 宪法的，符合宪法的；（某人）体质的，体格的in effect // 实际上principle //n. 原则，原理；准则，规范permissible //adj. 容许的结构：参见翻译思路译文：尽管裁决规定，宪法没有赋予医生帮助病人自杀的权利，但最高法院实际上还是认可“双重效应”的医疗原则。

考研英语历年翻译真题解析_1990-2007
英汉翻译高分攻略一.近年英译汉考题内容英译汉短文内容大体上涉及当前人们普遍关注的社会生活、政治、经济、历史、文化、科普等方面的一般常识或社会、自然科学与技术常识的题材。
体裁多为议论文。
科学常识性的题材占了相当大的比重。
1990～2004年英译汉短文主题1990年：个性形成的教育(434词)；1991年:能源与农业（444词）1992年:智力评估的科学性（406词）1993年:科学研究方法（443词）1994年:天才、技术与科学发展的关系（308词）1995年:标准化教育与心理评估（364词）1996年:科学发展的动力（331词）1997年:动物的权利（417词）1998年:宇宙起源（376词）1999年:史学研究方法（326词）2000年:科学家与政府（381词）2001年:计算机与未来生活展望（405词）2002年:行为科学发展的困难（339词）2003年:人类学简介（371词）2004年:语言与思维（357词）平均值:短文词数:370词;要求翻译的词数:160词从英译汉试题内容分析，考生就应明确认识到，要想在英语考试中取得成功，必须在基本训练上狠下工夫。
首先要扩大知识面，提高自身文化素质。
考生如果熟悉试题内容，将有助于对短文的深入理解，增强信心，提高翻译水平。
考生应利用各种渠道，特别是通过大量浏览中、英文报纸杂志，扩大相关的知识面。
二.近年英译汉考题的特点从题型改革后、特别是1996年以后的试题分析，命题组更侧重考生综合运用语言的能力，题难度加大，趋向稳定。
考题要求考生在理解全句、全段或全文的基础上，把语法、词汇的意思和上下文结合起来理解，表面看上去画线的句子语法不很复杂，词汇似乎也不陌生，但翻译时很多考生觉得难以动笔，难度增大体现在:不能采用就词论词、就句子论句子的简单直译方法，而要求把词和句子放在篇章里去理解，还可强调英语习惯用法、语感和翻译技巧的掌握。
这样仅靠熟悉语法规则和孤立地背单词已远远不够了。

After you read each text, select the best answer to each question and mark your answer by blackening the corresponding letter on the answer sheet(10%)Text a trouble in paradiseEaster Sunday was just another day in paradise for James and Mary Murphy-until the guys with the ak-47s and rocket launchers turned up. After a day of diving and lounging on the beach, the Murphys and the other tourists on Sipadan island off the east coast of Malaysia were having dinner when six armed men burst in and ordered them onto boats waiting offshore. The Murphys, from Rochester, New York, had come to the exclusive s250-a-night resort of Sipadan for its world-renowned corals, turtles, and sharks. Instead they found themselves confronted by men pointing gun’s at them and shouting orders. The men, it turned out, were muslin separatists from the Philippines’ shadowy Abu Sayyaf terrorist organization.With a tradition of taking foreign hostages-and killing civilians-the abu sayyaf are the most feared rebel group in the predominantly catholic Philippines the organization maintains links with international terrorist leaders, including Osama bin laden and Ramzi Yoursef, the man convicted of plotting the 1993 bombing of the world trade center in New York City.Although James Murphy initially didn’t know who the armed men were, he was worried. They showed little interest in the tourists valuables, he noted, but wantedthem to board their boat. They had cut the phone lines to the island, so nobody could call for help. With the kidnappers shouting, “move it, goddamn, move it!” to the Americans and 10 other foreign tourists, Murphy took a big chance. He told the armed men that his wife could not swim and was unable to make it to the. The pirates turned away long enough for the Murphys to run into the undergrowth of the tropical island, where they hid for the rest of the night.The other travelers were not so lucky, three Germans, two French, two south Africans, two Finns and a Lebanese were herded onto the waiting boats together with nine Malaysians and two Filipino workers from the resort. Under cover of darkness they were taken to Jolo Island in the southern Philippines, about an hour away by sea. For several days their fate was a mystery, until Philippine Defense Secretary Orlando Mercado finally confirmed what many had suspected all along; the hostages were being held by the local Abu Sayyaf leader on Jolo Island, Galib Andang, who goes by the alias commander robot, Andang was behind several previous assaults, including the 1998 kidnapping of three Hong Kong citizens in the Sulu islands. Efforts to negotiate the release of the latest hostages were continuing through the weekend with the appointment of former Muslim rebel leader Nur Misuari as manila’s negotiator, Misuari traveled to Jolo to open communications with the kidnappers, once head of the Moro national liberation front, an Islamic separatist group, Misuari went over to the government after peace talks in 1996. he still commands respect among Muslims in the southern Philippines. The kidnappers reportedly told Misuari they want money and restoration of fishing rights in exchange for the hostages. President Joseph Estrada told time, however, that he isn’t prepared to meet the demands. “no way, you cannot keep paying,” Estrada said,” that’s why we have so much kidnapping in the Philippines,” the president shows every sign of sticking to the hard line he has adopted since the start of the incident,” Abu in Tagalong means ash.” says Estrada and that is what we are going to turn them into.”Though they didn’t realize it at first, the tourists have been plunged into a complicated and brutal kidnap drama that reaches across the Sulu islands, an area long known for piracy, smuggling and general lawlessness a month earlier, Abu Sayyaf fighters had seized 50 people from schools on Basilan Island, some 80 kilometers northeast of Jolo their demand was bizarre: that manila must persuade American president Bill Clinton to release yourself, the world trade center boomer currently serving a 240-year sentence in the u.s. Estrada rejected the demand out of hand. In response, the rebels announced several days before Easter that they had beheadedtwo of their hostages. Estrada ordered his military. To go in hand on April 22, the government launched an air and ground assault on the Abu Sayyaf camp to free the remaining captives. A day later, the latest batch of hostages were grabbed in Sipadan, upping the stakes for manila once again.Abu Sayyaf, which in Arabic means “bearer of the sword”, was set up in 1991 by abdurajak Abubakar Janjalani, a veteran of the anti-soviet war in Afghanistan. With some 600 fighters, abu Sayysf says it is struggling for an independent Muslim state in the southern Philippines. But most of its actions have amounted to little more than localized terrorism and kidnapping for ransom. The group is known to receive money and support from the Middle East, although claims that Osama bin laden visited the region in the early 1990s have never been confirmed. Abu sayyaf has a record of tossing explosives into buses and shopping centers, and in 1993 it killed seven worshipers by rolling grenades down the aisle of the catholic cathedral in Davao. In 1995 Abu Sayyaf fighters invaded the Christian village of Ipil on Mindanao Island, walking down the main street and shooting anything that moved. When they left, 53 people were dead. Over the years they have kidnapped Spanish nuns, Hong Kong fishery workers, a u.s. bible translator and a Taiwanese grandmother.As the hostage drama drags on, Estrada is feeling the pressure. “our priority is the safety of the hostages,” he told time.” but we’re going to finish them off this time.” The philippine military’s assault on the Abu Sayyaf base on Basilan has been going slowly, however, as troops cope with dense jungle land mines and an enemy that knows the terrain better. According to one officer, government soldiers do not dare to move at night for fear of being cut down by friendly fire.Abu sayyafs political objectives may seem unreal: 600 rebels are not going to overturn a country of 73 million people anytime soon, let alone convert the entire world to Islam. But this only makes dea ling with them more hazardous. “How do you negotiate with guys like that?” asks one of Estrada’s top aides. “They’re crazy.” Solving that problem, however, could mean the difference between life and death for several dozen hostages.31.what does the title of the text suggest about the tourists?a.they had a blessing in disguise.b.their travel was doomed to failure.c.they attracted unwanted attention.d.their holiday was unexpectedly undermined.32.what function is the text primarily intended to achieve?a.entertaining.rmative.c.aesthetic.d.inspiring.33.which category of style does the text basically fall into?a.recount.b.exposition.c.description.d.argumentation.34.the tone of the whole text is___________a.apprehensive.b.pessimistic. c.understandingd.objective35.which of the following cannot be inferred from the text?A.abu sayyaf’s objectives are both political and economic.b.catholicism dominates in the minds of most filipinos.c.the government soldiers will give the rebels a surprise attack.d.the recent crisis is part of the rebls’anti-government scheme.Text b hurricaneHurricane Frederic was far from its peak of fury as l drove through the deserted streets of mobile, Alabama, for a last look. But already roaring winds loaded with rain tunneled between buildings. Traffic lights danced crazily on their wire strings, and then crashed into the streets. Signs, tree limbs, garbage cans, and sheet metal hurtled through the air. Windows popped glass sprayed like shrapnel.I retreated to my hotel at about 8:30 pm, when the center or eye of Frederic neared western mobile. Mobile eventually the city was enveloped in the most violent part of the storm. Wind spiraled in bands toward the eye, signaled by a banshee wail that split the night. Lightning flashed down the wall of the sky thunder shook the hotel. Once a frightening tornado rumbled past in the darkness, more than a few who heard these horrendous noises of a hurricane may have died of heart attacks.The wind strengthened steadily until, in the fiercest assault of the century on mobile bay, Frederic lashed the coast with sustained winds of 133 miles per hour, the maximum gusts of history’s great hurricanes have rarely been clocked, because most measuring instruments cannot stand before them. At the mouth of mobile bay wind gauges on Dauphin Island recorded gusts of 145 miles per hour before Frederic swept them away peak gusts rocked the hotel violently. The floor of my room swayed like the deck of a ship.Hurricanes and their western pacific and Indian ocean counterparts-typhoons and cyclones-may grow to be more than 500 miles in diameter, earth’s greatest storms. They are like enormous heat engines, which feed on the ocean’s warmth evaporated seawater condenses into rain changing thermal energy into wind power in awesome amounts. The heat energy released by one hurricane in a single day, if converted to electrical energy, would supply the entire United States with power for three years.As an experienced Florida reporter, l have had an intimate acquaintance withhurricanes, and l realized that air pressure inside the hotel was now greater than the low barometric pressure of the storm, putting explosive stresses on the building. L propped my door open, hoping to let air into the corridor, l can only assume that it helped, my window held while, all around, others cracked and shattered.The thudding strikes of wind came harder and more often as the night wore on gusts slammed through gaping windows and knocked the inner walls of some rooms out into the hallways. Sometime near midnight Frederic jolted the entire hotel, cutting off electric power and plunging the hotel into darkness.With other guests, l groped down emergency stairs to the lobby, water streamed from the cracked ceiling. Broken glass crunched under our feet. Hours later, l went out into a gray, gusty dawn to walk the streets of a brutally beaten city.Mobile was a shambies. Roofs were tom off, glass and even brick walls caved in church steeples toppled, and debris piled high, at Bellingrath gardens, a luxuriantly landscaped estate, tornadoes like artillery fire had toppled and uprooted oaks, pines and other trees, throughout mobile, giant live oaks that had stood for two centuries now lay blocking avenues and flattening houses.In only a few hours, hurricane Frederic had swept mobile back to an earlier era gone were air conditioning ice-boxes, television sets, telephones, and in many areas, drinking water gasoline could not be pumped newspaper presses were silent and only candles and lanterns dispelled nighttime darkness.36.why did the writer go back to his hotel at about 8:30?a.all the streets were deserted.
